Twitch is planning to cull among the content material archived by streamers to avoid wasting on storage prices. From a report: On Wednesday the streaming platform introduced that it’s going to introduce a 100-hour storage cap for Highlights and Uploads beginning April nineteenth, warning that customers could have their content material mechanically deleted till it falls under the restrict.
Twitch says it is doing this as a result of “Highlights have not been very efficient in driving discovery or engagement,” and it is not price the price of storing 1000’s of hours of such content material. Twitch is owned by Amazon, a market-leading cloud storage supplier — a element that hasn’t gone unnoticed by streamers criticizing the choice.
